Correction: Huang et al. The Effect of Preloaded Compressive Stress and Curvature of Defect on Blast-Induced Fracture Behavior by Caustic and Numerical Models. Mathematics 2023, 11, 4532

Missing Citation

In the original publication [1], reference [35] was not cited. The citations have now been inserted in Section 2.3 Paragraphs 1, 4 and 6 and should read:

“The following references are from P. Qiu [35], P.S. Theocaris [36], A.J. Rosakis [37] and G.A. Papadopoulos [38].”

“According to the Maxwell–Neumann principle, the optical path difference can be associated with the stress state of the crack tip [35,37].”

“Considering the crack velocity, the dynamic stress field at the crack tip can be expressed as Equations (5)–(7) [35].”

The newly added reference appears below:

35.

Qiu, P. Mechanisms of the Interaction between Blast Stress Waves and Cracks. Ph.D. Thesis, China University of Mining & Technology-Beijing, Beijing, China, 2020.

Error in Figure and Legend

In the original publication [1], there was a mistake in Figure 2b because the authors used an unauthorized figure (Figure 2b. Mathematical derivation diagram). In addition, in the original paper, one reference was not cited. This citation as reference [35] has now been inserted into the caption in Figure 2. The correct Figure 2 appears below:

With this correction, the order of some references has been adjusted accordingly. The authors apologize for any inconvenience caused and state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
